Sweet. Glad to hear someone's working on it who knows what they're doing. :-P
I spent a fair amount of time at work five or six years ago trying to figure out how to make supply chain security actually possible in the general case with standard open-source tools. And I can tell you that the fact…
Does anyone know of a more generalized framework for doing this kind of thing? I'd been meaning to write a framework kind of like this for some time, but never got around to it, and was hoping someone else would. This…
Hold on. Nobody has explained why TF I'm supposed to care. Is Element important or something? Does this affect real people?
The communication doesn't give that impression; instead it says that the paper makes claims that ignore significant and credible challenges to those claims. Dean said that these factors would need to be addressed, not…
Apple's new chip "shreds" a 2016-era GPU? Wow.
IIRC, all GCPs IPv6 support is complicated by the fact that they adopted IPv6 from the get-go for internal routing, and layer the user-visible virtual address space on top of it, embedding the user-visible addresses…
My brother is an ER doc in a well-known facility, and he says this covid thing is freaking the everliving shit out of the front-line medical profession. This virus is just not behaving like a normal disease should. The…
Thing is, Google requires an absolutely stupid amount of computing resources for running their core business. YouTube transcoding is a great example and a big one for sure, but I bet they have even bigger ones in there…
As someone who actually DOES read the manual for everything, your objection about accomplishing nothing is BS. It's a bit of an upfront investment, but you long term efficiency is dramatically higher. You have time to…
Eehm... Arbitrage is buying on one market to immediately sell on another market at a profit. Which is exactly what these folks were doing. Except that the other market administratively blocked them from selling. Then…
The study is fundamentally flawed and the article (headline claim in particular) is nonsensical. The study is flawed in that it lacks a control group and is missing information about relevance. You say people don't see…
Really? That's certainly not something I generally hear. You can levy a lot of complaints against police systems, especially the a few of the more infamous departments. But that one seems like it's pushing a bit to make…
Uhhh, right... nobody thought that it was.
Thing is, the copyright is owned by Oracle of all companies and and the legality is more than questionable enough to allow Oracle to sue for damages the second the code shows up in use by a big enough fish. Oracle won't…
Magical indeed. Except that public opinion counts for nothing in copyright law; you have to fight it out in court. Luckily, Sun isn't the kind of company that would file questionable lawsuits against Linux users just…
> ...disliked ZFS because they feel it was designed to be incompatible with Linux... Ya... That may have just a bit to do with the fact that ZFS is released under a licence that was explicitly designed to be…
The point is that just because you don't want most sites to use these features doesn't mean that no use exists. I just want to make sure I don't get nag notifications begging me to turn it on every time I visit a news…
Discord replaced ventrillo and teamspeak for gaming communities. For those you actually ran a "server". Whether or not the company started out calling these accounts "servers" initially, that customer base sure did. It…
> WHERE IS THIS TEAM? Now they're all sheltering in place in their homes. It's amazing how big a difference you can make in the world if you can just get started... a month ago.
Regardless of wire gauge, bundles of wire noticably reduce your heat dissipation ability and therefore reduce your safe current carrying capacity accordingly. That's why electrical code significantly de-rates the…
Probably just misunderstood; what you said is a mixed up jumble of bits of actual facts. C.diff is something that you always have some of (you'll never be rid of it, nobody is), but it usually gets out-competed by other…
Oh yes? A productivity bonanza you think? I'm in the Seattle area and my office has been shut down for at over a week now. It's not been as rosy as you think. Here's what it's actually like: First, the company has…
That should be a given. Linking to a paywalled source for an audience that you can't guarantee are all subscribers is like telling everyone to just trust you that a story exists.
Being first to report something is ultimately worthless, and absolutely not what we want to encourage (rushing to publish in order to be first). What matters in actual journalism, and what we should encourage, elevate,…
